AN ACCOMMODATING CASHIER,
Who Supplied MS Friends with
the Govern ems Funds.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The examina-
ton which has been made of the &C.
counts of the late Levi Bacon, financial
clerk of the Interior Department, who
died on the 22d ult, reveals deficiency
of $2S,000. The inquiry is said to show
that for a long time prior to his death
he either misappropriated public monies
or permitted loose methods of transact.
ing business in his office. Upon Bacon's
decease at the request of his bondsmen,
Jay Hubbell and Jas. L. Morris, Seore.
tary Lamar appointed committee to
examine and settle his accounts. The
report of the committee has been sub.
mitted to the Secretary end shows
deficiency of $2S. 200, of which SIG, ZOO
was represented by due bills from the
emJloyes of the office to whom Bacon
had advanced money. Some of these due
bills run as far back as 1879. 1t is be.
lieved considerable part OF thiN money
can be recovered. Secretary Lamar to.
day issued an order directing the dis
bursting officers to retain part of the |
salaries Of the employees whose due bills
are held, thus securing the government
against loss as far as possible. As far as
,he investigation has gone it does not
prove that Bacon appropriated the
money to his own use, but rather accom-.
his friends with it.

clusion of an open meeting last night at
San Quentin, the Board of State Prison
Directors went into an executive session
lasting till midnight. In a spirit of re-
trenchment measures were discussed that
proved unusually intricate, and upon
adiourning again this morning they an
nounced that they had done nothing.
The question of reducing the salaries of
emplu yees of the prison and the advisa-
bilty of discharging certain persons to
lessen expenses was canvassed. There
was some discussion regarding Director
Sonntags resolution presented the night
previous, to pay the S37 600 surplus on
hand from the sale OF
goods into the
general fund for the benefit of the
State. Chairman Boggs thought the
money would be better in the hands of
the Board, where it could be reached in
an emergency. Director Devlin declared
that the Board had to comply with the
law, that directed that the coin should
90 to the State prison fund, and no.
where else. Director Sonntag proposed
10 amend his resolution so as to have the
Board of Examiners make transfer to

The supreme COURTS Decle1Ou In
a san Diego Lind Case.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The Supreme
Court has settled a disputed claim to a
large tract of land in San Diego county
by sustaining the judgment of the lower
court 10 its decision, adverse to the con.
tsstant, Francisco Pico. On June s,
1910, Alvarado, the Governor of Cali
fornia, granted to Jose Antonio Pico q
tract known as Aqua Caliente, to the ex.
tent of four square leagues. the same
being part of the Vale de San jose.
which contained about ten square
leagues, now situated in San Diego
county. Ga the 2Sth of the following No
vember the Governor granted Warner
''six square leagues of land in the Vale
de San Jose." In January. 1852. Pico
executed an instrument to Warner by
which he transferred his tract to the
latter, to sell and dispose of for him.
without consideration. During the same
year Pico's grant was rejected by the
commissioners appointed to settle private
land claims in California. The petition.
er's counsel claimed that the tract
granted to Pico by Governor Alvarado
was still occupied by Warner, who holds
it in trust for Pico, as his grantee. The
court held that Warmers trust expired
with the rejection of Pico's grant, con-
sequently the judgment OF the lower
court was affirmed.

BENSON, A. T., July l. l.-To.day's
Epaaph has the following report OF
terrible water spout which occurred In a
cienega west of this place on Monday
afternoon: captain Coy. a well known
Tombstone miner, returned yesterday
from prospecting tour in the Santa
Ritas, and reports terrible water spout
on the Vail ranch, near the Santa Ritas.
Mr.. Coy says that while he and his
partner were camped near the Vail
ranch on Monday afternoon they heard
a terrific roar, similar in many respects
to the sound accompanying monster
earthquake. They ran to the banks
overlooking the Vail cienega and beheld
with awe the approach of monster
water spout coursing its way down the
cienega. The valley or cienega at this
point is fully one.half mile in width,
and Captain Coy says the water was
fully fifteen feet in depth. This
terrific result of cloud burst
high up in the mountains was
sweeping along taking in its remorse-
less embrace everything in its wake.
This valley is covered usually with cat
Il Q, which were taken up by this rush
of water and borne down the valley,
some being landed upon high banks.
Immediately after the water had ceased
to be dangerous Mr.. Vail and his men
went forth to see what damage had
been done to their herds, and the first
day they discovered over 100 dead ami
mails, and Mr.. Vail feels assured that
his loss will reach 200 head. The water |
must have come upwards of fifty miles.
as it overfowed the hotel and railroad |
track at Pantano before it exhausted it |
self This is the second waterspout that
has occurred in that section this season,
both of them doing great damage.
